On April 5, when voters cast ballots in Wisconsin’s Republican and Democratic primaries, the state’s controversial voter ID bill will face its biggest test since Governor Scott Walker signed it into law in 2011. For the first time in a major election, citizens will be required to show approved forms of identification in order to vote. The law mandates that the state run a public-service campaign “in conjunction with the first regularly scheduled primary and election” to educate voters on what forms of ID are acceptable.

But Wisconsin has failed to appropriate funds for the public education campaign. The result is that thousands of citizens may be turned away from the polls simply because they did not understand what form of identification they needed to vote.

1. Why are they allowed to ask for IDs if they have not kept to this requirement?

Did they write the law in such a way as to leave themselves off the hook?

2. They're masters at legalizing the illegal.

3. Just another part of their plot?

How many years would any lawsuits take?

I'll bet they never had any intention of doing the education campaign.
